Topic: Most Valuable SW Item??? (Read 4220 times)

From the modern line, I won one of those Toy Fair vac-metalized Vaders, and a cinema cast vader coming down the stairs, from the Jedi point auctions. As much as I love kubricks right now, I think those two vaders would be the last thing I would let go. From the vintage line, I still have my AT-AT with its' empire box, and a dewback I got as a christmas present when I was about 8. Those I consider priceless.

I'll post for my daugters- With the release of ROTS, there were a ton of mail away items for food companies. My 8 and 5 year old went nuts when we came home one day and there were 3 packages for them with the cookie jars from Kellogs. They still talk about it like it was yesterday, and they still use their lightsaber spoons.

I'm a big fan of companies doing mail-away and other reward type programs. My biggest pet peeve right now is chase figures and the impending Hasbro experiment with that same idea. A mail away will reward people who buy and open figures (I know these offers are tough on MOC collectors). A chase figures says "Hey, speculators and scalpers! Over Here! Come make 5 extra dollars and still not have to take a bath!" Creating a false sense of worth to infuse the hobby with excitement, well, I'm against it. The mail away offer for George Storm sounds like a Scalpers wet dream. They can hold specific figures hostage that collectors need to get their mail away. Ugg. Here's hoping my visions don't come to pass...

Mine would have to be my Vintage SW 12" Chewbacca in a bi-lingual box. I bought it from a dealer in Toy Shop magazine about 8 years ago for $100 but I didnt' know it was bi-lingual till I got it. It was sealed MIB when I got it but i'm a HUGE Chewie fan so I had to open it. The tape was barely holding on anymore from age so it was bound to pop open eventually. Anyone have any information about this? I've looked all over but can't find any other examples of the bi-lingual box. Here are some pics:

I guess this doesn't really count anymore, but the most valuable item I had was a Hasbro 2005 Toy Fair Press Kit Anakin/Darth Vader. It was tough for me to part with it, but I funded my trip to C3 on the sale of it. Was worth it, now that I look back at the several days I spent in Indiana with the staff and members of JD. I'd do it again (sell the TF Press Kit, not spend a weekend with these JD clowns ) if I had to.

This would have to be it.It was done by Comic artist Stewart McKenny.Cost me a Sandtrooper builder pack but its worth a lot more to me, the fact he did it and made it ot to me makes it my most prized piece.Dollar wise it wouldhave to be my FF Weequay

The problem with America is stupidity I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself

I think my most valueable item in both price and sentiment is probably my Stormtrooper armor. Thanks to the armor (and the 501st) I've managed to meet all sorts of Star Wars and other celebrities, I've traveled to tons of conventions....been on TV, on stage, etc, etc.

It's also the only Star Wars item I've ever owned that has actually improved my social life.
